#metropotamia

[avkingart]

Thomas Jefferson had an insane plan for how to name states in the new stolen territory. He wanted to build a utopia.

Let's bring back this level of absurdity. Let's bring back Metropotamia!

Thomas Jefferson wanted to name a state 'metropotamia' and I think that's beautiful

[littlewritingrabbit]

A committee of Congress under the chairmanship of Jefferson was appointed to settle this, and in 1784 it reported that the Western territories should be divided into fourteen new states - including Assenisipia, Cherroonesus, Metropotamia, Miochigania, and Washington. Congress did not like these weird names and dropped them.

50 US states with (roughly) equal population.

by u/Narmatonia:

Hey guys, creator here, hope you like it. Each state has a population of approximately 6,450,000. Los Angeles is of course the outlier, I used a big map of US counties, meaning that Los Angeles County has to be it's own state with a too high population, I used the population figures from Wikipedia, which probably wasn't perfect, but still used census data and each State had a list of it's counties which just made things more convenient. It's not perfect, I likely made some mistakes and made some states too large or too small, two that I know of are 'Central Appalachia' and 'North-East Carolina', the final two states I made which ended up with populations closer to 7 million due to a miscalculation somewhere along the line. DC is of course included in the 'Capital' state, and I joined Puerto Rico with part of Florida to make 'Florida Rica', which some may object to but it seemed fair to me. The smaller territories Guam, N. Mariana Is., US Virgin Is. and American Samoa are omitted.
